The Tame, The Half-Born, The Wild and You
Ron Hawkins
album: The Secret of my Excess
transcribed by Kevin Cumming
intro: GAmEmC x2
NOTE: When playing Am in the intro, start off with the B string open and
then hammer on the 1st fret for the same sound that Ron has.
GAmEmC
If Carolyn called me up today I'd hang up the phone and walk away
GAmCD
It's not that I don't care anymore but time changes locks on a lot of
doors
EmFAmD
And I know what you're thinking and it's true
EmFAmD
Sometimes there is nothing you can do
GAmEmC
But there's a time that I recall a purple street in Lisbon
GAmCD
She was speaking dreams to me and I thought I was listening
GAmEmC
But I was fifteen yards away before I felt the distance
GAmCD
She cried in Augusta street and stared into the windows
EmFAmD
And I know what she's thinking and it's true
EmFAmD
Sometimes there is nothing she can do
CGAm
Carolyn is tamed...
All those years and all those tears
Cuddling her insecure
And shaking like a child and feeling helpless
But maybe I share the blame
[ Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/h/hawkins_ron/the_tame_the_half_born_crd.html ]GAmEmC
Peter has a fan club he's a whiskey hating Christian
GAmCD
And he's in love with everyone as long as they keep listening
EmFAmD
And there's a hole in my old faith where he belongs
EmFAmD
But, the whole of me has never been that strong
CGAm
Peter is half-born...
With one foot in and one foot out
A princess on a barstool
Anarcho- Commun- Liberat- ingratiating stranger to me now
Bridge:
GDFEmGDFEmGDFEmGDFEm
Close friends and passerby love affairs and suicides
AmCDAmCD
Sex and drugs and crash n' burn decisions politics and prostitute
religions
AmCFEmC
Fucking at the movies or fighting in the street
GAmEmC
Christopher's a scapegoat cause he lives like a poem
GAmCD
And they want explanations but I just want to know him
GAmEmC
Not for what he claims to be or what they say he isn't
GAmEmD
Just because he's got the balls to make his own decisions
EmFAmD
And sometimes the pain he's feeling is so real
EmFAmD
Sometimes that is all I need to feel
CGAm
Christopher is wild...
With fire-escape guitar afflictions
Different lives but shared addictions
Late night taxi, Frank Black happy birthdays
And blood-pact butchers knives
GAmEmC
Amsterdam, the sex museums and the New York City subway
GAmCD
Vancouver in November, and Montreal on Monday
GAmEmC
We'll get a fix in Union Square we'll drop at C.B.G.B.'s
GAmCD
And if we can't find salvation there, we'll stay home and watch the t.v.
EmFAmD
And I'll be your disciple if you'll be mine
EmFAm
And we'll make love in the moaning summertime
CGAm
Cause you are beautiful...
